Nanny Share

[Anonymous]

I currently split my week between two families, and now they would like to begin sharing one day per week. What percentage of my normal hourly pay is appropriate to ask for on share days?

I would up your normal hourly pay on the 1 overlap day to 1.3 to 1.5 times as much so you get more but each family pay less as well. If they try to overlap for more of the week though then something closer to 1.2 to 1.3 times your normal rate would likely be a better match.

While I was a nanny, I became licensed to open a preschool program in part of my home. My employer asked if she could continue to have me work with her child in my program. She even volunteered to maintain my same hourly rate if I agreed. Consistancy of care was important to those parents.

Thanks so much for your answer.

...and this has absolutely nothing to do with what the OP asked.

When we had a nanny share, we paid $15/hr for one child, $19/hr for two kids (split between both families).

Was the nanny mediocre?

No, she was an excellent infant nanny with 17 yrs of experience.

I am not sure why you think that, people often post stories about their beloved nannies. Look into the nanny ads, lots of families aging out of nanny care want to find new jobs for their wonderful nannies.

$19/hr is not at all bad. particularly when PP did not say WHERE she is located nor for how many hours they used the share.

If 19 an hour is good for you doing a nanny share, that's all that really matters. For me, it would not be acceptable.

It just means that your rate is higher. It doesn't mean any nanny charging less than you is mediocre.
